dischord already got back to me about a replacement 

Did you try flipping over the record?  That usually helps. 

But those points!!

Also, seeing how negative that last post sounded, I'll just add....
I haven't listened to this album start-to-finish in quite a while, and crushed mastering aside, it still holds up. "Eriatarka" kicks like a fuckin' mule. Brings back memories. 
I just wish there was a more dynamic master out there somewhere. I'm mostly collecting and listening to 70s and 80s pressings these days and you just can't beat a really good analog rock recording cut well where you can crank it all day.....

For what it's worth, Bodies was accompanied by SOAD's Chop Suey! and Disturbed's Down With the Sickness during his temper tantrum.  He must've got his hands on a burned CD at school, I'd guess.  I like to imagine that he traded a Lunchables for it or something.

Deep Discount just added a few good titles to their Blowout Bin. Ice-T, Peter Tosh, Paul Simon, several of the Slowdive MOV EPs, Frank Black “Christmass,” and more.
 
Not like the deluge before, but I got like 12 of the 15 I ordered this time.

These indie variants have been shelf-warmers at all my locals, I wouldn't worry too much tbh

The basis for everything I know about records is because of Shawn  I worked for Independent for 4 years and he really took me under his wing and taught me the ropes of record collecting and buying for a retail operation and I still consider him one of my closest friends even though we are miles apart now so I love this shoutout. I now manage product for a successful midwest record store/audio equipment dealer. I am in charge of ordering/all used buys and all processing and pricing  of used records and I would never be here without him. Smash those preorders for www.beindependent.com they could really use the support right now.  If for some reason they don't have them up I got you covered https://vinylren.com/search-results-page?q=boris

It was Be Independent.
 
Not bitter or anything as they let me know in time to find them elsewhere. They have also helped me find other things without scalping me, so still a lot of love for Shawn and the gang. 👍🏻
 
Done pretty well with Bull Moose, as I only missed out on a couple recently.

That's what preorders are for.

More like Fueled By Profit, am I right?!

Hold my not-so-limited-edition Fueled by Ramen vinyl. Someone needs to defend Bullmoose and knock workers back down a peg.

I missed out on the note but still got one of the deluxe copies. The vinyl is beautiful. Kind of want to track down the Matador exclusive pressing too. 

Just be thankful that Jack didn't release a record with a similar album cover. Mind you wouldn't it be funny if he did just have a record cover with his meat and two veg hanging out that was just called 'JOHNSON'?

Judging by what people have been sharing on social media, the notes seem pretty unique:
 

 

 

I think I like that BETTER than the RSD version. 😄

Well.  It's nothing to get overly excited about [just yet], but a RSD rep did write back to me, already, on that Dirty Three callout I sent them last week.  She advised that they take the RSD Pledge very seriously and will be "looking into" what I've described in the e-mail.  Refreshing to see some traction.  I would sleep just a smidge better knowing that I potentially helped blacklist a shop – one that's probably been exploiting RSD for a while – while knowing that their stock goes to a deserving indie shop next RSD.  Or maybe an even more corrupt one, who knows.

That "apology" was weak at best and didn't address most of the problems employees cited. A number of the employees were visible on social media noting how unimpressed they were.
 
Bull Moose quite frankly has a long history of treating its employees like shit, and a half-assed apology that was a transparent attempt to conveniently put out a good story the day before RSD (a thing they were instrumental in starting and are instrumental in running) that many of the employees think was far from sincere, is not enough, imo. You can't just fuck up that badly, wave your hands, and call it good.
 
tl;dr:

Didn't Bull Moose issue a public apology, give everyone their job back, and provide backpay to employees who missed time? 

No, but I think Salem may rage against the machine and get Bull Moose cancelled.

Saw it on a retweet, surprised I got one.
 
the board is pissed.  I get it but you can’t have everything plus look at the purple Target variant.  Everyone was losing their minds, complaining, buying as many copies as possible and now you can literally find them in almost any Target.  I would guess there is more going on with NO Code then this short pre order.   Let’s be honest if everyone could get one the same people complaining would then be complaining about shipping
